What did you do today? WDIDT?

Changed the headlight ballast, you dont have to drop the bumper after all. Plugged new one in, error gone no coding required! Sorted!

You found a way after all - a better man than I.
And you got a bargain!!

Glad you are all sorted.

Cheers

Cleared out the garage and sorted a few sets of wheels.

Also spoke to a painter about boot lid, seats and caliper :)

Well the headlight flicker is still there... I actually knocked the lamp out at one point... im thinking, low battery (only one side flickering) dodgy connection, dodgy earth... anyone know where the lights earth?

Yep . . Time for the spring clean.
Yesterday I hoovered the interior, cleaned the glass and plastics and cleaned and treated the leather.
Then played with my new toy . .

Jet wash
Snow foam :beerchug:
Rinse
Shampoo with 2 buckets and new mitt ( wow, that speeded the washing up)
Rinse
Dry with microfiber cloth

Today (so far)
Clayed ( was pretty smooth to start with)
Polished exhaust tips
Rinse

Now waiting for sun to pass by and will start on hand polish (just AG SRP) then, if time, wax (Collinite)

And yes, phantom black is a right bugger . . :bigblink:

You can buy clay mitts now, I have one yet to try, supposedly more efficient.
